we have gone from the biggest deficits to the biggest surpluses. we have gone from a triple-dip recession during the previous 12 years to a tripling of the stock market. instead of a high unemployment, we have the lowest african- american and latin american unemployment rates in history and 22 million new jobs. it's not good enough. too many people have been left behind. we have got to do much more. the key is job training, education, investments in health care and education, environment, retirement security. and incidentally, we have got to preserve social security. i'm totally opposed to diverting one out of every six dollars out of the social security trust fund, as the governor has proposed, into the stock market. i want new incentives for savings and investment for the young couples who are working hard so they can save and invest on their own on top of social security, not at the expense of social security, as the governor proposes. >> two points. one, a lot of folks are still waiting for that 1992 middle- class tax cut. i remember the vice p
